Hello all. I wish I could say I'm having success with CVBJ but like the title says it seems like i'm on a constant losing streak. I have two separate games going on my laptop and on my PC. Both of them I losing consistently.
I'm playing Dealer Hit on soft 17, 6 deck, 2 deck cut, mostly standard rules. I'm using Hi-Lo, IL18, 25 table minimum, 1+ count bet $50, 2+ and above I bet $100.
I understand standard deviations, negative variance, how people lose for hours or sometimes weeks on end. But I just can't seem to catch a break. I mean I was up to $2800 when I first started at $1000 now i'm down to $-1800 on one game and the other one i'm down $-1200. It seems like everytime the count is high I am losing everything and the dealer is getting ridiculous hands and I am never getting blackjacks and rarely hitting doubles/splits, etc. I've made well over 4000 bets on both combined so I figured I would see a return or atleast even out by now but unfortunately I'm not. Everytime I play I'm wondering what the hell is going on and if either I'm doing something wrong, is it a setting I have it on, is my betting strategy off. I really dont know, it's getting to the point where it's laughable now.
And one more question, speaking of betting strategies, I've read from different experts that have different opinions on this. Do most people us a flat betting strategy? As in everytime the count is a certain number that is what your bet will be no matter if you're winning or losing? Or do people change their bets depending on their winning/losing streak? I can see that Stanford Wong and Humble/Cooper have a different opinion on that. I also noticed Humble and Cooper recommended that you leave the table after a winning streak and Wong suggested that was a fallacy and it didn't matter. Just wanted some opinions on that. Thanks.
